Comment:
As a child of the 1960s, growing up on a dirt road in the northern section of Botetourt County, Virginia, I planned out my allotted-television-viewing time by perusing the weekly newspaper insert that listed the 4:30 Early Show schedule. If there was an Audie Murphy movie showing, I completed my chores beforehand, and thankfully, allowed to do homework later!

I remember hearing the news on the local a.m. radio station that Audie's plane had crashed in Craig County, just over the mountain! I sat out on the front steps for hours, scanning the horizon, and praying for him to come safely to me.

I was all of 11 going on 12 years old in May of 1971. But Audie was "my love." I cried and begged for him to be safe. To no avail. And then, my parents burst my bubble, so to speak, informing me that Audie was close to ten/twelve years older than they.

As confirmation of his death became real, I began learning about the true man. And what a great individual was he!

About ten years ago, I was able to do visit Audie's grave at Arlington National Cemetery. Just me and Audie. I hope he knows I was there and the impact his life made on mine. My hero. <3

I grew up watching and loving Audie Murphy movies. He is one of my favourite movie stars and I still love watching his old movies on TV when one comes on. I was and am aware of his military career and I admire him enormously. All the best to his family and Audie is not forgotten by me that's for sure.

Audie Murphy was always my HERO. I had an uncle in WWII and knew him. I would listen as a child to stories about Audie Murphy and became a fan.

I discovered his story and name through a song on sabatons new album to hell and back, I thought I'd look more into it and I'm very happy I did.

Audie Murphy and Dwight D Eisenhower are my standout WW11 heroes. Audie Murphy for combat and Dwight D Eisenhower for leadershIp. Audie Murphy is a true American hero. The irony of all of this is, he died on Memorial Day. Words can't express how I love this true American and world hero.
